There’s no denying that the past year and a half has been hard on everyone. This is why it’s important to find small joys wherever we can, even if it’s investing in our health and beauty. If you’re looking for new treatments to boost your health and appearance this 2021, here are some you can try.
Health shots
If you are someone who cares deeply about your physical well-being and always wants to make sure you are someone who is in the picture of health, it’s time to consider taking the vitamin B12 I.M. injection regularly. A vitamin B12 deficiency can cause complications like pernicious anemia and even neurological problems. These quick shots are highly effective at providing your body with vitamin B12, which can then produce the number of red blood cells your system needs.
Advanced blue light protection
Ever since the pandemic started, many of us found ourselves staring at our devices even more than we used to do. Video calls replaced face-to-face meetings, and many of us have had to contend with strained eyes and blue light exposure all day long. Thankfully, skincare experts found ways to combat the harmful effects of blue light. One example is the brand Goodhabit, which was established specifically to discover ingredients that will help protect our skin against constant blue light exposure. Some ingredients that you need to look for when protecting your skin include rosa rubiginosa, turmeric, algae, and licochalcone A.
Microbiome skin health
Microbiome health is simply the science and discipline of keeping your gut clean and healthy. This science has also found its way to skincare, as companies and brands found ways to incorporate probiotics or “friendly” bacteria to help support skin health. There are now brands that offer probiotic-packed potions, especially since it was found that a balanced and healthy microbiome can also contribute to healthy and glowing skin.
On the flip side, imbalances in our bodies’ microbiome can also lead to various skin issues, like eczema and acne. But was more microbiome-friendly skincare products find their way to the market, it’s important to still do your research and consult with your dermatologist about these products before you try them, especially since no two people’s skin needs are the same.
Neuromodulators
Injectable treatments such as Botox, Jeuveau, Dysport, and Xeomin are non-invasive and effective ways to reduce fine lines and the deepening of wrinkles. We can’t help it; signs of aging are a natural part of life, but it does not mean that there’s no way we can eliminate them even as time progresses. These neuromodulators are highly effective at reducing wrinkles and lines that usually come from facial expressions, such as crow’s feet, vertical elevens between our brows, horizontal lines across our foreheads, and others. The best part is that depending on where you plan on getting your face injected, you can even keep your mask on in the clinic.
Regenerative skincare
If you neglected your skin even for a few years, it’s never too late to try to bring it back to health. Regenerative medicine and healthcare are all about using our body’s natural and biological materials to rebuild our skin and health quality using treatments such as microneedling accompanied by platelet-rich plasma (PRP). The PRP in our bodies is a healing serum that is drawn through our blood and can be injected into the parts of our skin that need treatment and enhancement. This treatment, when done in conjunction with other laser treatments and microneedling, provides lasting results in our skin and promotes healing.
Vitamin, hydration, and oxygen infusions
If you are planning on attending some special occasions this year, a quick vitamin, hydration, or oxygen infusion might be the most suitable treatment for you. This is because these treatments provide instant and noticeable results, especially as they use ingredients like vitamin C and hyaluronic acid, which are skin boosters.
These treatments help promote the production of new collagen and enhance your body’s blood supply. The oxygen infusion, on the other hand, is perfect for those who are battling tired and brittle skin, as well as dark circles. It immediately hydrates and provides better results than your typical at-home mask, leaving your skin plumper and much smoother.
The Bottom Line
As time goes on, health and beauty experts will continue to discover and develop ways to provide health and beauty for us at a cellular level. If you want to enhance your appearance, start from the inside and work your way out — and you will surely find yourself both beautiful and healthy.
